I am thrilled to have received two very excellent reviews for my June Ellora's Cave release, Satisfying Sophie! Night Owl Reviews gave the short novel a 5 out of 5 Rating and a Reviewer Top Pick! Reviewer Maria said about the book: “I was completely captivated by this short novel by Ms. McKnight. She took a story of personal growth and wove it into a beautifully erotic tale. Ms. McKnight touched on a topic that is pertinent to all women; the idea of physical perfection. Sophie has emotional issues throughout this book due to perceiving her physical body as less than perfect. We get to see every step that Sophie takes on her journey to self-acceptance. I especially liked how Ms. McKnight phrased her feelings about this in the acknowledgement page of the book: "Facing and accepting your flaws is a powerful and courageous thing to do, made all the more beautiful when there's someone in your corner cheering you on, as Sam and Jordan do for Sophie."
I was also impressed with how the spicier and sexual aspects of this book were written; they certainly raised my internal temperature and made me wish that I could take Sophie's place. This is a book that I can easily see myself reading again and again. I do hope that we get to see these characters again in another book by Ms. McKnight.
…Ms. McKnight does an excellent job of transitioning [Sophie, Sam and Jordan’s] relationship from best friends to potential and eventual lovers. All three characters grow throughout this story, from one of the men realizing that the love he feels towards Sophie is the familial kind and that he wants it to remain that way to the other man realizing that he wants Sophie in an amorous and possibly permanent relationship. What is really emphasized is that what makes all of their relationships work is trust, that the giving and receiving of trust is paramount to any real love.”
ROMANCE JUNKIES also gave the book 4.5 Blue Ribbons!!
Reviewer Chrissy said:
“Ava McKnight's Satisfying Sophie is a story that will stand out in readers' minds long after you've read the final page. Sophie has never talked about what happened to her with anyone, and it's carried over into all facets of her life. You'll fall in love with all the characters. Jordan and Sam are exactly the kind of friends that Sophie needs. They're non-judgmental and care for her happiness above all else. This is a beautiful story, Ms. Knight. I hope to see many more like this in the near future.”

Satisfying Sophie by Ava McKnight (aka Calista Fox
Sophie has never had an orgasm. Too much guilt and a horrific teenage tragedy have left her self-conscious about her body. But her two roommates and best friends, Sam and Jordan, find Sophie beyond desirable. Together, they set a steamy seduction into play that awakens Sophie’s passion…and her love for Sam.
Both men are more than willing to help satisfy her sexually. To finally free herself from the pains of the past and accept love in her life, Sophie must reveal her darkest secret to Sam. And hope he returns her love, even knowing her deepest flaws.
Publisher’s Note: This story was previously published elsewhere under the title A Subtle Seduction and has been revised for Ellora’s Cave.
